I am doing research on corporate governance in Pakistan. and in most of the cases firms did not provide enough information about their directors background. For this. i used and collect some data form 4traders, Bloomberg and LinkedIn.
but i am worried that these sources are acceptable in academic research or not.

Hello Farheen,
Since LinkedIn profiles are constructed and edited only by their owners, then it is OK to collect the mentioned info from LinkedIn profiles. The only weakness is the probable outdated information. Therefore, you may check the date of the last activity of the profile owner.
